    I myself live in New Zealand, and if this woman's magazine knew anything, I'd know by now. Here in Kiwiland, any news is big news-believe me, if it were true, the whole country would know.

    Anyway, HOPEFULLY i'll have a chance to speak with Sam Neill soon, as he's down south in Fiordland trying to stop some commercial stuff happening-( he doesn't want the forest's being beaten up- true), but i dunno...

    The t-rex does win the fight but only by help from another t-rex.


    The spinosaurus while might be interesting doesn't fit the other two movies. You cant just keep adding new dinosaurs. They should build o the dinos that we alreaady know. They should do more with the raptors. The movies both talk about how intelligent they are but the only thing they have done is open doors. The t-rex was great but he is not that flexable all he does is destroy stuff. And that is what the spinosaur will do. The raptors have flexability. They could be great but like all dinos in Jurassic Park and The Lost World the only thing the do is destroy. Dinosaurs should have different personalities thats why i think TLW bombed. They were the same thing we saw in Jurassic Park.

    T-Rexx, sorry buddy, but some of your news there is fossilized. It's been confirmed by members of the JP3 crew itself, in a LIVE webcast, that JP3 takes place AFTER TLW. So that's outta the question...

    However I doubt the validity of this... Why? Because, not to be racist but to be FACTUAL, almost all the information that has come from foreign sources on this film has been unreliable and in many cases proven false. There are interviews with Sam Neill that have been printed in Australian and New Zealand newspapers that have in fact proven to be made up, either by the net source or the newspaper itself... so I don't really trust it until I see it in Variety or the Hollywood Reporter. In fact the whole "LW prequel" thing started I believe in Costa Rica... and it got spread like wild fire across the fan bases of the net as being true...

    The Pteranodons in the city is impossible. It's impossible because the plot doesn't allow it to happen.

    I've heard from a very good movie magazine, i forget which one, said that JP3 would be after Jurassic Park but before the lost world.

    This means that when we saw the lost world, JP3 already happened. If they had the pteranodons attacking the city in JP3, then the whole world would know about it and not act as shocked when T-rex came to San Diego.

    So you see, it is quite impossible.

    However, it would fit the plot IF the pteranodons attacked a small port Rican village.

    There wouldn't be that much resistance from police forces, not that much to kill but enough for dinner, and the villagers would call them dragons and nobody would believe them

    "Dragons killed my brother" would yuo believe him?

    I hope T-Rex kills Spinosaurus at the end of JP3. It would be a spectacualr fight.

    The original ending of TLW was Malcolm, Harding, Thorne, Levine, Arby and Kelly escapping the raptors by a tunnel and get to a dock.They escape on a small boat, and Dogdson gets killed by the rex babies ( Like Ludlow in the movie ).THe book is so much better !!!

    i doubt a ptero scene in a city will happen and if it does there is little chance it will not hurt the movie. i hope they don't do it. the t-rex ending of tlw was pretty bad. i think they could have made it cool, but that whole movie (especially that scene) makes me wonder if spielberg was suffering from temporary insanity. what was he thinking when he had kelly do her gymnast scene?? what was the origional ending? i'd like to know.


    At 6:30:42 PM on 1/25/2001, Thorne said:
    All right, so we all agree that pteranadons attacking any city would be absurd. What I want to see is the spinosaurus swim after a boat or something similar in a lake.
    In JP the novel the t-rex chases Grant and the kids on a raft in water.
    And I hope that the baryonixes are able to change color like chameleons.
    Carnotosaurs can in TLW the book.

    Guys the womens magazines here in Australia (and I'm guessing NZ) have these little gossip sections on upcoming movies. From what I've read in the past I've noticed that their "gossip" is info I saw on the internet sometimes five months previous. This rumor is old as hell and I'm thinking the 'writers' at these magazines have no f***ing idea.


    At 1:18:24 PM on 1/25/2001, Tyrant Lizard King said:

    .I think the pterodons would be cool as long as they don't attack. You should just see them fly over head.
    What i think should be in the movie is one of the carnivores (raptor, t-rex, or the spinosaurus) swimming and attacking a boat or sub-marine.

    I have thought all along that this movie is ALMOST guaranteed of being better that TLW, as long as it doesn't go to the mainland, but now it might?!! Dammit! San Diego kept TLW from being great.

    As for the ending, remember people that the EW article says they returned to Hawaii to film the ending. So, if there is any of that mainland BS, it won't be at the end.

    I don't think the Pteranodons coudls urvive in the avairy for all thsoe years.
    San Diego didn't ruin TLW. It only makes snese to brign dinos tot he mainland. Just not 1.

    i don't know if u know this - but i read that the start of jp3 was suppose to be the pteranadons getting lose from a huge avery ...thats why they were seen at the end of tlw bec they had just escaped and thats why we haven't seen them in jp or any other part of tlw they were still locked up in their avery.... but they got out just b4 tlw ended and thats how jp3 will start with the pteranadons breaking loose and i'm not sure if they go to a city but i think thats where they might be headed after the escaped....

    I really want to see the original ending of TLW. THAT is an interesting pteradon scene.

    Umm..I think Leoni said that the end of the movie will have dino stomping, meaning the dinosaurs get destroyed..

    I told it, this pteranodonts will follow stranded body's of dead dinosaurs, destroying every evidence. But now they get lost and ar getting into a town.
    Serious, it's a strange plot. Who comes up with something like that? It sounds cool anyway.


    At 8:02:54 AM on 1/23/2001, Matthew said:
    Simple explanation for the Utah police being there. Grant and his assistant are wanted for doing something illegal, maybe something unethical concerning their dig. Boy crashes on island. Parents come to Grant. Grant and assistant are leaving anyway because of the police. All go to island. Police follow. Grant and company have to find the kid and rush to get off of the island before they get eaten by dinos or caught by the police. Police get eaten on the island. Hey, it's just as plausable as TLW or JP!!


    At 2:45:52 AM on 1/23/2001, Utahraptor said:
    Carter, you're idea fits in with the various rumors. Grant goes to DC to save the island, and hence all the military stuff and big explosions.
    The only thing wrong with the San Diego scene, is there was only 1 dino. That's feldecarp. We need lots more dinos.
    As for Utah police, can the Hghway patrol take on Pteranodons? They'd simply fly away.
    course, the only problem is, why wait over 8 years to fly off the island. Most likely, they'd have to be removed. Otherwise, they'd never leave the island.

    Plots important, JP didn't have as much as you think though, it didn't need it though. The Lost World didn't have much either, but once again - didn't need it. King Kong is always revered for it's plotline! The special effects are why it's a classic though. The Lost World (1925 version) is revered only for it's special effects though (rightfully so). Once you get into a movie though, if the characterizations are real and there's heart, plot doesn't always have to matter. If we gave a damn about the characters, Godzilla might have been good!

    No, only TLW didn't have a plotline, JP had a great plotline!

    Carnotaur,
    Those movies aren't acclaimed for their plotlines, dude. It was simply the special effects, or simply put the first movie effects ever. They're so cool because they're so old.

    Well, the Pteradons are going to get off the island sooner or later!

    Inst it the utah state police anyways??

    It could work, it is very unlikely that this is true bu think about it.

    Pterasuars attack city (intro). Army threatens to destry the island. Kid goes to see it before it is destroyes, crashes on it. The race is on the rescue him and get off the island before it is destroyed.

    Well, its an idea, I don't think many of you will like it though.

    The t-rex in San Diego scene would have been better if the rex would have been frightened. I don't care how big an animal is, it would be scared of a hundred screaming, running people and bright lights. The end of TLW could have been better. but I don't think it ruined the movie.
    But we really don't need another dino rampage in the city scene.
    JP3 should end with the rex vs. spino.

    I would just like to point out something, I live in New Zealand, and have never even heard of that magazine, it is crap if you ask me...

    I would have loved that gymnast scene if when kelly went to kick the Rapter in the head it had simpley caught her foot then chomped on her.....wouldn't have happened but it would be cool

    Man, this is turning into another Godzilla and TLW!!!

    ok. I think on movie.com theyve got a good little article about JP3, lots of info. Check out there.

    they are compsognathus not procompys

    actually, i only liked the first 40minutes of tlw. the second procompsognathus scene was good too, but thats it.

    i liked the ending of jp:tlw and the gymnast sceen was stupid

    What are pteranodons going to do? Tear abuilding in half? Start picking people up and eating them, that would be so stupid.


    At 5:38:09 PM on 1/22/2001, Carnotaur said:
    Does anybody remember "King Kong" and "The Lost World" (1925 version) both of those also featured monsters running amuck in the city, and those two movies are hailed as excellent even by today's standards. I didnt particularly like the rex rampage at the closing of TLW, but I also feel that it didnt ruin the movie. That little gymnist scene is what killed the movie in my opinion!!


    At 5:29:04 PM on 1/22/2001, m2k said:
    it never said it was the ending and jp3 have been in contact with ohio sate police

    plus there is battle near the start after the pane crash jsut before ths spino eats the people in the plane the t rex comes and the t rex gets beta but at the end the t rex gets its revenge (i will say no more)


    At 5:28:51 PM on 1/22/2001, Danfield78 said:
    Hopefully this isn't in the movie at all. If it is in the movie it better be at the begining. It would fit in with Lost World better if you start at a city and go back to the island. I would like to talk to just one person who didn't think the t-rex in the city didn't totally ruin Lost World.

    Actually, I didn't mind the ending of The Lost World, everyone I saw it with when it came out also laughed and cheered. It's great as long as you don't analize it so much. Speilberg gave most of that scene quite a comic feeling, if it had been done real seriously and terrifying, he would have lost the audience. I don't really like the Pteranodon in the city to much though, mostly because we've seen something like it before. The ending of the movie will be the fight between the Spinosaur and the Rex, and it'll be fantastic. It might happen like the ending of JP, with one carnivore saving the humans from the other.

    dinos and cities just dont mix. and the worst thing is: spielberg knew that: didnt the sign in TLW say "no dinos"?


    At 5:11:01 PM on 1/22/2001, He_is_a_digger said:
    yes, dinos in the city lose their credibility, as we've seen before.

    At 4:10:40 PM on 1/22/2001, Thorne said:
    Impossible.
    They have to end the movie with the t-rex vs. spino battle. And if JP3 ends in the city, too, then that means we'll have rexes, spinos, and pteranadons loose in the city.
    That would be stupid.
    They've got to end it on an island.

    That would be the stupidest idea since Spielberg's idea of changing the end of the lost world to a city location! Please tell me it is not so!
